I have and use a
Lee Valley pocket rule constantly in the shop.
My one issue is that one side is Metric and one side is imperial and the back has a conversion chat which I've never used. Does anyone make a similar sized rule that is imperial on all sides?
I love the 6" x 1/2" size as easy to slip into an apron pocket.

Fr. Peter: I'll make a note (my memory is chit lately) for me check when I get home tonight, in the bunch of stuff from a machinists chest where I got the dividers I just posted in the S&S I might have gotten a 6"one of those Starretts in a 1/2" width so you could still use the clip.
Highland Woodworking sells basically the same thing as the Starrett 6" rule with 1/4", 1/8", 1/16", and 1/32" scales for a measly $6.99. I bought a couple. Unlike the Starrett rule, it doesn't have the graduations on the end. They also offer a flexible version with the end graduations for $4.99.

I love that price and I hate to get fussy but that rule is 3/4" wide.
I am looking for one that is 1/2" wide and can easily fit into the pencil slot of my shop apron.
Peter: no joy; sorry, don't have one.
